A recent ad campaign I liked
Van Heusen's Women's Day campaign was brilliant. Instead of flashy ads, they showed a relatable moment of a woman taking off her bra after a long day, highlighting their promise of comfort. They tapped into a real female experience simply and meaningfully, proving that relatability often resonates more than glamour.
